What is Translation Notation?

Back

Translation notation is a mathematical way to describe the movement of a figure in a coordinate plane. It indicates how far and in which direction a figure is moved.

How do you translate a point (x, y) 2 units left and 9 units up?

Back

The translation can be expressed as (x, y) --> (x - 2, y + 9).

Front

What is the algebraic notation for translating a point 7 units left and 4 units up?

Back

The algebraic notation is (x, y) --> (x - 7, y + 4).

Front

If a point is translated 8 units left and 2 units up, what is the new position of the point (5, 3)?

Back

The new position is (5 - 8, 3 + 2) = (-3, 5).

Front

What does the vector T_{<-2, 5>} represent?

Back

The vector T_{<-2, 5>} represents a translation of 2 units left and 5 units up.

Front

How do you express a translation of 4 units right and 7 units down in algebraic notation?

Back

The algebraic notation is (x, y) --> (x + 4, y - 7).

Front

What is the effect of translating a figure 2 units right and 5 units down?

Back

The effect is to move every point of the figure 2 units to the right and 5 units down.

Front

What is the translation notation for moving a point (x, y) 3 units left and 6 units down?

Back

The translation notation is (x, y) --> (x - 3, y - 6).

Front

If triangle ABC is translated to triangle A'B'C', what does this imply?

Back

It implies that every vertex of triangle ABC has been moved to a new position to form triangle A'B'C' according to a specific translation vector.

Front

What is the translation vector for moving a point 5 units right and 2 units up?

Back

The translation vector is <5, 2>.
